Kasey Kahne traded his steering wheel for a fire hose on Wednesday.

The Hendrick Motorsports driver visited the New Hampshire Fire Academy to experience a day in the life of a firefighter. His experience included an ignitable fluids canine demonstration, a vehicle extraction with the "jaws of life" and a water hose competition.
